My first card of 2016 ... and it is an owl

I was given a beautiful owl die for Christmas (thanks Mum and Dad!) and I love it. The owl comes with a leafy flourish.

For this card I cut the owl from some yellow patterned paper and cut two flourishes from green patterned paper. The green paper actually has large white stars on it and I don't use it very often as I don't like it, but when I cut the flourish from it, I was very pleased with the variation it made.

I used a black Sharpie marker to dot the eyes and then a black line doodle around the edge of the card for balance.

Thank you for reading this post. I am just having a cup of tea and shall be browsing my reading list to see what my fellow bloggers have been up to this week. Enjoy your weekend :-)
